The purpose of this project was to build a sculpture out of a continuous piece of wire. I chose to make a bird because the shape seemed simple to make out of wire. Though I thought it would have been simple to make, the wire was difficult to bend. Almost every turn i made i had to use pliers. When i finished the bird i decided to make a cage as well. The bird fits on the perch inside of the cage. I painted the bird blue to make him more defined. I painted the cage as well, but a rusty brown color. When i was finished i photographed the project against a black backdrop. I really like the overall piece.
